​Gaston Broquet, 1880-1947 Trained at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, & served 32 months as a stretcher-bearer at the Front in WW1..​ His wife Jeanne was the daughter and pupil of sculptor Adolphe Itasse, and an accomplished sculptress in her own right, being one of the few women to receive a commission for a war memorial (as at Pouldreuzic, Finistére).
